This mattress is the perfect compromise for people who like soft  vs firm mattresses....its a little bit of both! Very comfortable! The true test will be to see how long it holds up and if its actually cooler in the summer. I like the hybrid idea...seems like the best of both worlds. I thought this was reasonably priced and am glad I took the chance on an online mattrrss purchase. Tip: get your mattress out of packaging as soon as possible and allow 48 hrs to fully "inflate" before sleeping on it to ensure it puffs up to its full potential.
